Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effect of glazing with the solutions contained ascorbic acid (AA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), BHT/BHA combination and only water, and storage time on lipid oxidation of chub mackerel were determined during frozen storage at -18°C for 10 months. Glazing with some antioxidants or water of the fish retarded lipid oxidation when compared to control samples during frozen storage. The results of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), peroxide value (PV) and free fatty acids (FFA) as lipid oxidation parameters increased slowly in all the samples glazed with antioxidants as a function of time but they retarded lipid oxidation …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was carried out to determine the origin of the meat used in heat processed sausages. For this purpose, sausages prepared from pure beef and horse meat and sausages prepared with different mixture rates of these meats, were cooked in a smoking oven at 75°C for 15 minutes. Proteins of extracts from these heat-processed sausages were separated by the isoelectric focusing technique. Only myoglobin bands of these gels prepared by this technique, were stained by the pseudoperoxidase staining method. Species differentiation was easily performed with sausages made from pure beef and horsemeat. Similarly determination of these two species in …

Investigation Of Three Different Lactation Models In Milk Yields Of Holstein Cows, Mehmet Nurullah Orman, Okan Ertuğrul

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The purpose of this study was to determine the best lactation curve. Data were collected from the dairy cattle breeding unit at Ceylanpinar State Farm. Three different lactation curve models (Wood, Schaeffer, Glasbey) were applied to all data. The values of the determination coefficients of three lactation curve models were estimated at 70.62-79.47%. Some negative estimated values were obtained during the estimation of parameters. These results were restricted by the hypothesis and were tested. All restrictions were accepted. Total actual and mature equivalent (ME, 2x3057) milk yields were estimated. Differences between the actual values of lactation milk yield, and the …

Role Of Vitamin E In Decreasing The Toxic Effect Of Digoxin, İsmai̇l Meral, Burhanetti̇n Baydaş, Fahri̇ Bayiroğlu, Hamdi̇ Uysal

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the role of vitamin E in decreasing the toxic effect of digoxin. Electrocardiographic recordings of New Zealand rabbits which were treated with digoxin-only or digoxin+vitamin E were used. Recordings were obtained before and 24 hours after treatments. It was found that digoxin-only treatment caused a sinusoidal tachicardia without changing the durations or amplitudes of any wave on the trace. However, digoxin+vitamin E treatment did not produce any increase in heart rate. It was concluded that vitamin E injection along with digoxin injection might lower the toxic effect of digoxin. More studies are needed …

Postembryonic Development Of The Neural Lamella Of The Hypocerebralganglion In Melanogryllus Desertuspall. (Orthoptera, Gryllidae), Hati̇ce Karaki̇şi̇, Sema İşi̇sağ

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The sheath of the hypocerebral ganglion was divided into two parts: an outer layer, the neural lamella and an inner layer, the perilemma. Dark and light types of glial cells were identified in the perilemma. In the 4th and 7th nymphal stages, some fibrous material related to the neural lamella accumulated in the light glial cells. It was surrounded by rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes and was then transported towards te outer parts of the sheath. Finally, it was bound to and intermingled with the lamella. These observations indicate that the 4th and 7th nymphal stages are critical for the development …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Performance data on growth of lambs were collectted for two years from 23 village flocks in Central Anatolia. The results from the Akkaraman and Merino breeds and their crosses were analyzed by the least-squares method. The overall means for birth weight, pre-weaning daily gain, weaning weight and post-weaning growth rate were 3.74 kg, 188.4 gram, 16.4 kg and 83.6 gram, respectively. The performance was lower than reported for the same breeds from institutional flocks in Türkiye. Systematic effects of flock, season of birth, type of birth, sex and weight of dam were significant (p

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Sixty four newly weaned Awassi lambs (initial BW = 21.0 ± 0.75 kg) from both sexes were randomly allocated to one of the four treatments (8 males & 8 females/treatment) and grouped into 8 pens with 8 lambs from each sex per pen. They were then used to evaluate the different sources of protein on a finishing performance trial. The lambs were fed for a period of 114 days using four different rations. These rations were so formulated as to contain the same percentage of crude protein 14 %, but from different sources namely sunflower seed meal (SSM), bitter vetch …

Lectin And Peptide Expression In Nodose, Sphenopalatine And Superiorcervical Ganglia Of The Rat, Zafer Soygüder

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The presence and distribution of Griffonia SimplicifoliaI-B4 (GSA I-B4) and Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) were studied in the nodose ganglion (NG) (inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve), sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) and superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of the rat. GSA I-B4 labeling was found in all ganglia tested. Neither SPG nor SCG cell bodies stained with CGRP were undetectable. The pattern of the distribution of GSA I-B4 and CGRP labeled cells were quite similar in the nodose ganglion. They were found in the poles of the ganglion with some marginal labeling. Large numbers of GSA I-B4 and CGRP labeled cells …


Lectin And Neuropeptide Labeling In Whole-Mount Preparation Ofmeninges In The Rat, Zafer Soygüder Jan 1999

Lectin And Neuropeptide Labeling In Whole-Mount Preparation Ofmeninges In The Rat, Zafer Soygüder

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The distribution of both peptidergic and non-peptidergic primary afferents in meninges was investigated in whole-mount preparations from meninges. Lectin Griffonia simplicifolia I-B4 (GSA I-B4) was used as a marker for non-peptidergic fibres. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was used as a marker for peptidergic fibers. Lectin Griffonia simplicifolia selectively labeled thin sensory axons that were distributed throughout meninges unrelated to blood vessels. CGRP immunoreactive axons, in contrast, were found to be very close to vascular patterns. This study demonstrates that lectin-positive fibres are constituted by a fibre population separate from those containing neuropeptides.


Comparison Of The Distribution Of C-Fos With Primary Afferent Markers, Zafer Soygüder Jan 1999

Comparison Of The Distribution Of C-Fos With Primary Afferent Markers, Zafer Soygüder

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The neuropeptides Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) were used as markers for peptidergic primary afferent fibres. A lectine, Griffonia simplicifolia (Bandeiraea simplicifolia)Isolectin-B4 (GSA I-B4), was used as a marker for non-peptidergic primary afferent fibres. C-Fos immunoreactivity was determined in the spinal cord of rats which had received 100% mustard oil application in the right hind limb. Darkly labelled c-Fos immunoreactive cells were concentrated in laminae I-IIo of the dorsal horn. SP and GSA I-B4 were distributed almost in the same regions. CGRP was more abundant in laminae I-IIo with someimmunoreactive fibres in lamina IIi. These data …
